 The last five tracks appear as yet another faded and repetitive filler of an album that could have been twenty minutes shorter.

Alter Bridge's 2004 album Blackbird features impressive guitar solos by Mark Tremonti and versatile vocals by Myles Kennedy. The album balances hard rock riffs with emotional ballads, especially on the title track.

 The first adjective I thought of comes back to mind, mediocre, but after so many years as a fan, I think that more simply, the album is not mediocre but just its anagram...medio-core.

 Fat Mike explodes his anger towards his father in a single verse that could be the perfect continuation of 'My Orphan Year,' in one minute and fourteen seconds there is everything that should be in a NOFX song.

The review presents NOFX's 'First Ditch Effort' as a somewhat mediocre punk rock album with a more mature sound and stronger melodies but less distortion. Fat Mike's voice remains a highlight, and certain tracks like 'Happy Father's Day' and 'Sia and Nancy' stand out.

 "End Position is real."

 "In shaping the noise, the two are extremely capable."

Drawing from early Nine Inch Nails and anarchic Atari Teenage Riot, the album offers a unique aesthetic of sound terrorism. Its 32-minute run is both punishing and meticulously calculated, appealing strongly to fans of ultra-violent experimental music. Experience the brutal noise chaos of Street Sects' End Position — listen now if you dare to embrace sonic aggression!
